[Vwdiesel] Glow Plug testing ---- ( the FAST FAST way. ).Explain more please

[H . Hagar.]

I Hagar remember way back someone asking --?    please post     STEP by STEP.

No problemo .   

First lets number the plugs   --- # 1  is at the injection pump end   and straight inline    to number 4
at the flywheel.
1 2 3 4 got it ?  ---- ok.

The test is based on the fact that if a current is flowing in a conductor   ---there will
be a drop in voltage due to resistance. -----The voltage drop in this bussbar is very small
BUT the NEW type   digital meters will measure no problem.    Millivolt
setting   200  fine ----- Us Hams may choose to use a Micro Ammeter.   but for
beginners use a cheap digital meter.   I am sure I have more than 10 meters here
Like AVO    "Universal   AvoMeter" UK   Simpson meters and on and on. But for those of
you who shop Canadian Tire ?  ---try to get a  "   EQUUS # 4320  "    I paid about  15 dollars.

That is my favorite ---why ?   because it has insulated connectors that plug in to meter.
And the selector switch works.

Let say we start mesuring with all four plugs working ? OK ?. And for arguments sake
say that the drop is 100 mv from # 1 to # 2.---- then the Drop from # 2 to # 3 will be twice that
200 MV ? right so far ? and from # 3 to # 4   300 MV ? right ? then from # 4 to fuse ?
 
now we do not know the drop exactly from # 4 to fuse  but is has to be 300 Mv plus.
if # 4 plug is working----    see  Apple Pie.  ----2 minutes   or you are fired Loren ----EH ?.

Hagar.
